you some of the very best words in the English language to be putting into your applications for work,

給你的是一些在英文中非常重要的字，可以放進你的工作申請中

and also directly into your CVs and résumés. CVs is the name in the UK;

也可以加進你的CV或 résumé中，CV是英國的用法

résumé would be the word in America for your list of work, achievements, and titles.

résumé 則是在美國的用字，簡歷或履歷是用來列出你的工作經驗、成就或頭銜

So, what I'm going to be doing today is talking through a list of adjectives to describe yourself

所以，我今天要做的就是告訴你一些可以用來形容你自己的形容詞

in a covering letter. We're going to be looking at good words for saying what you are able

讓你用在求職信上，我們將會看看一些好用的字來表達你有哪些

to do, and some good verbs for describing what you did in your last job. Hope it helps

能力，以及一些好用的動詞來描述你上一個工作的性質，希望能夠幫助

you get that important job.

你成功獲得重要的工作

So, when it comes to talking about yourself... By the way, I just want to make sure because

好的，當你開始談論你自己的時候....順道一提，我只是想要確定一下，因為

I want you to remember these words after the lesson, so just before we start talking about these words,

我希望你在課程結束後還能記得這些字，所以在我們開始討論這些字之前

can you make sure you write them down? Okay? So just write them down on a scrap

可以請你一定要把它們寫下來嗎？可以嗎？所以請將它們寫在隨便的一張

紙上，然後你以後就都可以用得上，可以嗎？也許按個暫停，

然後再回來。

So, "accomplished", now, this can be a verb or an adjective. The noun would be an accomplishment,

好，現在看到「實現的」，這個字可以是動詞或形容詞，它的名詞意義是指一個成就

I'll write that here. An accomplishment is like an achievement, it's something good that

我把它寫在這裡，一個成就等於一件實現了的事，這是一件正面的事項

you have done. So, this is obviously in the past simple if I'm using it as a verb. I accomplished

你已經做完的，所以，很明顯的要用過去簡單式，如果我用動詞的用法就是我實現了

whatever. But if I'm talking about it as an adjective, I would say: "I am an accomplished

什麼什麼，但是，如果我要使用形容詞的用法，我會說：「我是一位有經驗的

editor, having worked for five years as..." Okay? This is a really useful sort of grammatical

編輯，已經有5年相關工作經驗....」可以嗎？這真的是一個非常實用的文法

structure when you're saying what you can do. "Having worked as..." Okay? There should

結構。當你要說明你的工作能力時，可以用「已經擔任過........」的句型，可以嗎？這裡應該

be sort of a space in here. Or: "Having done this for so many years." So if you want to...

留一些空格，或者說：「已經從事這份工作許多年了。」 所以如果你想要...

"Having worked as", whatever the job title is and then the amount of years or months.

「已經擔任過........」不管是什麼工作，然後再加上做了多少年或多少個月。

Okay? So, you either have accomplished something or you are an accomplished engineer, computer

可以嗎？所以，不管你完成過什麼事，或是你是個有經驗的工程師，電腦
